Does Oprah Endorse The Acai Berry?

By Carter Sinclair

Acai berry is a Brazilian berry said to be endemic in the Amazonian basin and sprouts on top of some palm trees. This type of berry is considered a super food because it contains numerous nutrients that promote healthy metabolism as well slow down the process of aging.

One of the main benefits of the acai berry is its outstanding levels of antioxidants. Antioxidants help fight off harmful free radicals, which attempt to destroy many of the cells in our bodies. This means it counteracts the signs of aging while improving our immune systems.

Dr. Nicholas Perricone recently released a book about aging called the Perricone Promise. Know for his studies on the effects of foods on the aging process, Dr. Perricone made sure to feature the acai berry as the most powerful fruit in the war against the signs of aging. The acai berry had been used by a select group of people at that point, but it was Dr. Perricone that really showed the world how powerful this fruit really was.

After this amazing revelation Oprah Winfrey rushed to feature Dr. Perricone on an episode of her show. On Oprah he showed why the acai berry was ranked as the #1 superfood in the world. It was also featured on CNN, NBC, Men's Health, Vouge, and the London Times.

Dr. Perricone's presentation on the Oprah show he revealed his list of the top ten super foods on earth. Some of them were everyday foods you probably already have in your house, while others were exotic fruits that you probably have never heard of. The #1 food on this list was the acai berry. Dr. Perricone noted that it was the high levels of antioxidants that allowed the fruit to be so powerful against aging.

After that Oprah show, some illegitimate use of Oprah's name has been proliferated over the internet (including fake blogs and advertisements), claiming Acai berry to be a miracle weight loss. What these scamming marketers are doing is to take advantage of a simple presentation on the Oprah show and making it look like Oprah herself is endorsing their specific product.

So, while Oprah made it a point to feature this amazing fruit on her show, in order to raise awareness, she has yet to come out and endorse any specific acai product.

So, if you end up at a website using Oprah's name and picture (these sites will usually be offering "free trials" as well), hit your back button as soon as possible. These sites are selling low quality products and using her name to trick people into buying. What you need to do is find a high quality product that actually delivers the benefits Dr. Perricone discussed on her show. So, while she does not actually endorse any one acai product, Oprah did use her fame to show the world how great this fruit really is. - 17273
